Scented soft plastic on a heavy jighead or loud popping cork. dark color if its churned up. Or the loudest sounding topwater you can find  _________________ ...if my boss ever finds this forum I'll be unemployed... |

The Allure:
The allure of waiting to fish till the wind dies down.
Seriously. On the jetties, I prefer rattle traps in the channel since they are easy to cast and hold their action well even in rough conditions. |

| million dollar question right now, based on the responses of others it sounds as though the same things that work in non-windy conditions get the job done and that's my .02 |

I like the 4.5" Reaction Strike Jerk, Jr. on a 1/4 oz. short-shank jighead. Murky water is usually a factor when fishing in high winds, so I like to match the color of the water the best I can. The Holo Pink color (my favorite) and the natural shrimp color are both pretty good matches for our water color when fishing wind. If I don't get any hits after the first few casts, I'll stick a small rattle into the bait (right behind the hook). you can see all the colors of the bait at this site, and find what's best for you!

Good luck,
